Running Accomplishments:

I ran the Top of Utah Marathon in 4:43 after having my third child the year before. 5 K in 24:19, 10 K in 53 minutes pregnant. Survived personal training from my lovable but slightly overbearing husband Sasha for more than 8 years!!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Break 23:45 in the 5k.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Stay thin and full of energy.

Not be an embarassment to my family full of world class athletes.

Personal:

Madly in love with Sasha. We have been married since 1996 and have been blessed with seven of the most adorable and talented children : Benjamin, Jennifer, Julia, and Joseph, Jacob, William and Stephen.

All of our children have run in at least one race, including Jacob and William who did it inside the womb. I enjoy various non-running activities such as: baking, sewing, playing organ, piano and flute, painting, and playing with our vivacious children.

No braxton hicks today. Felt a little out of breath at the end. Good run today.

I'm kind of excited because I can tell I've stayed in way better shape than any pregnancy...the blog has helpled motivate me through this one and track to make sure I'm not missing too many days...Thank you honey for setting up the blog. I'm about to hit 30 weeks this Friday and that's usually when I'm done running...but I don't feel like I'm anywhere near done...maybe by 36 weeks I'll be closer to being "done"..meaning that my runs or so slow I'm barely moving...we'll see. I'm excited.

You have stayed in fabulous shape Sarah! Running with you last Saturday was so nice! When you mentioned you were almost at the 30 week mark I couldn't believe it! You are an inspiration to all of us! But most importantly you are an inspiration to your precious little family!

Thank you Kim. You are an inspiration to me too. I didn't realize until today actually how much blogging and being excited about running still has made such a difference in my pregnancy. I knew I've been much less tired but when I realized I was heading for 30 weeks and I haven't lost as much as I did last time I was really excited. What a blessing we all are for each other!!

Are you going to be at the Hobble Creek finish? Since I can't run it, I am forming a cheering squad :)

Excellent job, Sarah! Usually people say that being pregnant gets harder and harder each time, but you are sounding like you are getting younger and younger with each pregnancy. You are a great example.

Hey, and I saw that you might have a new running buddy. Sweet!

Tempting..although Sasha isn't even going to be there....it might still be fun to cheer on the fast running chick team.....I'll let you know. Sasha is running Ogden and I won't be going there.

Thanks Lybi..I do feel younger and in better health overall with this pregnancy..it really is amazing. I'm looking forward to a better recovery this time too...we'll see.

My wogging buddy hasn't called yet and I'm feeling shy about calling her. I'll bug her next time I see her but her baby is only 8 weeks old and I don't want to bug her too much. Good to hear from you.

Oh... I thought SAsha might be doing Hobble Creek.

I'll meet you another time :) Maybe one of these days I'll get brave enough to show up on a Tuesday morning ;D
